Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- (530) 622-4513 for water/wastewater outages and emergencies; after regular hours and holidays, calls are routed to on-call personnel. EID also publishes (916) 965-0930 as an alternate main-office number.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- For a high bimonthly bill, EID directs customers to first check the low-flow indicator on the meter with all indoor and outdoor water turned off, then inspect irrigation timers, toilets, pools, hoses, landscaping, and timer resets after power outages. EID is responsible to the meter; the property owner is responsible for customer-side plumbing and should use a plumber if needed. The public FAQ does not publish a universal leak-credit formula or receipt-based adjustment.
- Utility assistance program
- Income-qualified residential customers receiving wastewater service may qualify for $25 off each bimonthly wastewater bill through EID’s low-income program; EID states the program is limited to up to 1,500 qualifying residential customers. EID has no senior discount and also operates Helping Hands with the El Dorado Community Foundation and County Human Services for financial catastrophes.
- State and federal aid connection
- EID’s documented aid is local: the wastewater discount uses income eligibility connected to PG&E CARE, and Helping Hands is funded through voluntary contributions with the El Dorado Community Foundation and El Dorado County Department of Human Services. Customers should call (530) 642-4000 for application details.
